While being talked about by a large number of strangers who had never seen him before, Andy was actually inside the cathedral.

This is mainly because, before dawn in the morning, Father Matthew's female assistant couldn't wait to pick him up.

The reason is simple.

The Bishop wanted to see him.

Royal York Harbour is not the capital of the country, and the supreme leader of the Evangelical Church here is a Bishop named Norman.

Today's assessment was also presided over by the bishop himself.

In addition, there will be a number of religious personnel in various important positions to serve as "judges" and judges.

So, as Father Matthew said, the so-called assessment is actually more like a competition.

compares who can be appreciated and valued by the big shots.

"The Sanctuary of the Stars, a sacred place with a history of three hundred years."

The Norman bishop was a very kind-looking old man, with a round face and white hair, dressed in bishop's robes, and several ruby rings on his thick fingers, which symbolized authority.

It looks like he is more of a rich man than a bishop.

But his attitude towards Andy is very good.

After meeting Andy, not only did he not make anything difficult, but he was also very enthusiastic and led him to watch the next "competition venue".

There is no indication that he and Father Matthew were once in competition.

"Originally, the Sanctuary of the Stars was a place where royal family bestows decorations, knights, nobles, meritorious soldiers, and many heroes received their due honors here."

"However, after the abdication of the royal family, the Sanctuary was transformed into a place for extraordinary reservists to conduct their final assessments."

"Look over there, those pretty chairs."

"They have a beautiful name, ......"

In the quiet and leisurely church, the old bishop's kind voice constantly echoed, not in a hurry.

Father Matthew followed slowly, his expression as usual, but he never spoke, not knowing what he was thinking.

Andy could tell that the relationship between the priest and the bishop was not good.

It can even be said to be poor.

However, compared to the private grievances and hatreds between the two people, he is more interested in the building under his feet.

The Sanctuary called the Starry Church is not a simple hall, but more like a gladiatorial arena.

On the periphery of the arena, there are layers of auditoriums, from low to high.

The higher position is the second floor with a guardrail and a better view.

And all eyes will gather at the heart of the "gladiatorial arena".

The core is not actually a playing field, there is not much space there, and it is basically occupied by some stone chairs.

The stone chairs are high on the back and wide with armrests, and the shape is unique, neat and orderly in the shape of a ring, and the whole body is white, which is consistent with the overall architectural style of the church.

Overall, it's beautiful.

The classical, tranquil, and ubiquitous angel reliefs bring a sacred atmosphere to this place.

Through the Norman Bishop, Andy learned.

Next, he, along with the other younger generations who participated in the assessment, would sit on those stone chairs and participate in the assessment.

And the real venue for the assessment is not actually here.

Rather, in the "illusion".

"You don't have to worry that your body won't be able to withstand the test for a long time, and when you go in, you'll find that you've fully recovered."

Bishop Norman whispered, "Of course, it's a pity that it's not really a recovery, it's just a simulation of your best physical condition. ”

"Do you understand what I'm saying, kid?"

How can you not understand?

I'm not a fool......

Andy muttered secretly, apparently simply nodding.

The bishop smiled with satisfaction.

After saying a few more points, he instructed the attendant to take Andy to the side hall to rest and wait for the upcoming examination.

"You're really, giving me a problem, Matthew."

The old bishop then looked at the middle-aged priest who had been following him all along, and his tone was complicated.

"Finding such an excellent child, even the old gentleman was attracted to it."

……

The side hall is a light-filled hall with large stained glass accents, supported by two rows of towering columns, with majestic angel statues standing in the innermost section.

Before Andy came, Sister Lily and the rest of the reservists who participated in the assessment had already entered the place to wait.

After the young people poured in one after another, they immediately looked for Andy's figure, but they didn't see anyone, so they changed the topic to other places.

However, this is nothing more than a superficial "calm".

When the waiter led Andy through the side door, he was the first to meet everyone's attention.

"I knew he was short, but I didn't expect him to be so short?"

Due to his perennial illness, Andy is thin and childish.

After a closer look, Lily's companion couldn't help but whisper, "Poor little one, he seems to be fifteen years old, right?" ”

The guy seems to be a little gloating.

Lily didn't speak.

After glancing at the black-haired boy who had just arrived and was in the spotlight, she lowered her head and continued to read the book without interest.

However, she was not interested, and the others were completely different.

"I heard that he was dying, but I didn't believe it. Now it seems that it is really about the same. ”

"The face is frighteningly white, and if you see it at night, you will have nightmares, right?"

"yes, it looks annoying."

"Shhhh......h

The small chatter was buzzing, but it wasn't really loud.

Although everyone is generally hostile to Andy, an outsider, the transcendent class naturally fears the strong.

Andy is not strong at the moment, he can even be said to be very weak.

But his potential is too terrifying, and as long as he becomes an extraordinary person, he will quickly become stronger, which has become the consensus of most people.

So you can see that among the people who were still discussing dealing with Andy outside, a few of them actually ran forward and set up almost ......

This inevitably attracted everyone's disdainful gaze.

However, several parties didn't take this seriously at all, rushing to talk and laugh with Andy, not to mention how enthusiastic.

"It's not like no one wants to compete with you, Anthony."

On the other side of the hall, a friend next to him made a mockery.

The handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes was a little helpless when he heard this.

But for the few peers who rushed forward, his tone was very disdainful.

"It doesn't matter, waste is not qualified to stand with the strong."

"Haha, that's what if you're also a waste in the eyes of others?"

"It can't be."

Anthony's tone was firm.

"His talent is amazing, but it is only in the field of "literature", you look at his sick appearance, a gust of wind can probably blow him away, let alone pick up arms to fight. ”

"And I'm especially good at fighting."

The boy stood with his chest crossed, his face calm and confident.

This is mainly due to the fact that when the priest reported on the closure of the case, he only picked out the key points, and did not mention those that were not so important at all.

This includes being killed three times.

This gives Anthony, who specializes in combat, a lot of confidence, and he doesn't care about the so-called competitors.

It's just that his thoughts disappeared not long after.

It's not that it's not easy to find out Andy, but because he completely changed his decision to assist and get closer to Andy.

The reason is very simple, the specific topics of the assessment have come out.

"This, this is a little different from usual......"

Holding the paper assessment sheet in his hand, his friend's tone was surprised, "I didn't expect that idiot's proposal to be really feasible?" ”

Anthony didn't speak.

Sweeping his gaze to the crowd, he found that the brown-haired boy who had been in the square outside before, proposing that everyone take out their own skills and compete with Andy, was showing off to the people next to him with a smile.

And there are many people who look at Andy's eyes, and they are full of smiles and expectations.

That's the look on your face when you're waiting to see a good show.

"That's interesting."

Anthony was thoughtful, "It seems that the Norman bishop who presided over the examination doesn't want someone to be in the limelight......"

He and his friends thought that the man's proposal was idiotic, because in the assessment, there would be no chance for them to perform in every detail.

It is also unlikely that there will be a chance for the outsider Andy to reveal his weaknesses that he is not good at.

This has been confirmed in countless assessments in the past.

However, this assessment is completely different from the past.

It really requires Anthony's group of reservists to fully display their talents and potential in all fields.

This is simply too advantageous for them who have undergone professional training since childhood.

In contrast, Andy, an outsider, is unlucky.

His talent is very strong, but that talent is completely rooted in the field of painting.

In prayer, preaching, equestrianism, scripture copying, and even cooking, what else can a sick little boy from a wild road do?

I'm afraid he hasn't heard of a lot of knowledge, right?

With this mentality, Anthony completely gave up on the idea of assisting Andy.

Known as the strongest rising star in his country, he is already a person full of arrogance.

In order to make the big man pay attention to himself, he endured the discomfort in his heart and planned to embellish a child.

Looking forward to doing this, I can share some of the eyes of the big guys.

However, now he has every chance to compete with each other, and even crush them with what he does best.

So what is there to hesitate about?

What a rare opportunity!

"Bishop Norman, you're a good man."

After sighing, he didn't bother to pay attention to the little boy who was destined for tragedy, but closed his eyes and began to prepare for the next assessment.

Strive to be a blockbuster and win the old gentleman's appreciation!

Many people think the same way as him.

As a result, the atmosphere in the side hall gradually became quieter.

This silence lasted for about an hour.

When a melodious bell rang, some attendants ushered the young people into the Starry Chapel and sat down on stone chairs.

Then, the assessment began.
